[Third Update.] 】

Wuxi Prefecture, Xuanfeng County, Tengcun.

Because of its proximity to the mountainous area, Xuanfeng County was the most seriously affected by the Wuxi barbarian rebellion, and in just ten months, the number of Han people in the county plummeted by more than two percent, and countless displaced people were displaced.

And this Teng Village has suffered a catastrophe.

On the morning of November 15, the sky will be dark.

Walking among the ruins and broken walls, smelling the cold air, the faint smell of rancidity, Sun Shaozong's eyes kept wandering.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, Lu Jianxing rushed over from the entrance of the village and bowed down to report: "The bones found in the village have been buried, a total of 172 bodies, including 93 adult men, 36 women, and young children...... Forty-three toddlers. ”

"Judging from all kinds of traces, a considerable number of women should have been plundered by the Tongxi barbarians."

Speaking of this, he stopped and waited for a while, and saw that Sun Shaozong had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to ask: "My lord, do you want to simply erect a monument first, and if any villagers come back in the future, it will be good ......."

"Don't rush yet."

Sun Shaozong shook his head slightly: "When we come out of the mountains, it's not too late to erect a monument." ”

According to the guide, this Fujimura was quite kind to the barbarians on the mountain at the beginning, and even called each other brothers and uncles, but in the end, they still couldn't escape this war.

And according to Sun Shaozong's inquest, this Fujimura not only escaped the war, but I am afraid that it was slaughtered by friends on the mountain at the first time.

Because according to the traces left at the scene, it is very likely that the other party first opened the gate of the village in a big way, and then raised the butcher knife to the unprepared villagers.

Naturally, such a situation could only be the murder of someone they knew at the beginning of the rebellion.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, someone rushed over in a hurry, but it was Shen Lian who had been severely beaten by Sun Shaozong.

I only heard him bow down and report: "The sentry spies around have been arranged, do you see if we are camping outside the village, or are we ......?"

"Just set up camp in the village, no fire is allowed - inform the whole team [four o'clock in the morning] tomorrow, and enter the mountain at midnight!"

"Let's arrange it!"

Shen Lian turned around and wanted to leave, but he heard Sun Shaozong add another sentence in the back: "After the explanation is clear, I will go back to the village entrance to discuss the matter." ”

"Commanded by humility."

Shen Lian Gujing responded without waves, but his steps were unconsciously a little faster.

About two quarters of an hour later, Shen Lian hurried back, but saw that under the camphor tree at the entrance of the village, it was already full of officers above the general [Eight Ranks, Tonglong Guards Small Banner].

He stepped forward and saluted Sun Shaozong, and also took the marching horse himself, and sat down next to Lu Jianxing.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Shaozong raised his chin, and Wang Zhen immediately took out two maps, one in front of Sun Shaozong, and the other handed over to Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian and others to see.

After everyone had seen it, Sun Shaozong said: "Our target this time is Wu'er Village near here, according to the guide's judgment, there are about twenty-four or five miles of mountain roads, and if you set off in the early morning, it will take about three hours - that is, you can arrive around noon." ”

"The power of Wu'er Village ranks third in Tongximan, second only to Corrugated Village and Duosi Village, and there are about 600 adult Ding Zhuang."

"Wu'er Village is built in the mountains, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but because of this, the defense facilities built by the barbarians themselves are not very strong."

"There is only one mountain road in and out of Wu'er Village, so we only need to divide fifty people and set up guards along the road - and the number of troops we can use to attack the mountain village is two hundred and fifty left."

"This Wuer village is oblate and round as a whole."

"At that time, this official will lead the team to raid first to open the gap, and then Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian will lead the east and west to sweep the barbarians, remember to be steady and ruthless, and don't let the other party organize effective resistance."

"The official will guard the gate of the village at that time, and if there is a tight place on the east and west roads, he will personally go to support."

"When there was no obvious resistance in the village, the troops were not allowed to fight, and after setting fire to the village and poisoning the well water, they immediately withdrew from Wu'er Village."

"Then the officer will determine the next course of action based on the damage and the time taken for the raid."

"And ......"

"And then there'......"

Sun Shaozong sprinkled with enthusiasm, broke and crumpled the action to be carried out tomorrow, poured two sips of water, and waited for everyone to digest and absorb it, then he said: "Whoever has any doubts and puzzles, can tell it directly now." ”

But all the people below, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't mean to speak.

It seems unlikely that they will be able to come up with some constructive suggestions.

"Since ......"

Sun Shaozong sighed secretly in his heart, and waited to get up and announce the dissolution.

"Your Excellency!"

Who knew that Shen Lian stood up first, and arched his hand: "There is something unknown about the humble position. ”

Sun Shaozong's buttocks, which he had just raised, went back again, and said, "Speak!" ”

Shen Lian was not polite, ignoring Lu Jianxing's dissuasive eyes, and said loudly: "According to what the lowly detectives heard, that corrugated village is the head of the Tongxi barbarians, and there are no less than 1,500 young and strong people in the village, and there are two villages around. ”

"Therefore, adults do not choose Corrugated Village, which is understandable."

"But that Duosi Village is not only closer, the difference between the young and strong people in the clan and Wu'er Village is similar, and it is also built in a flat place, which should be easier to break than Corrugated Village."

"Why do adults want to go near and far, and don't choose Duosi Village, but have to gnaw on the hard bone of Wu'er Village?"

Obviously, he has also inquired about the geography and situation in this vicinity in private.

Based on this alone, Shen Lian is much stronger than others.

However, the latter words are already close to questioning.

Seeing that Wang Zhen beside Sun Shaozong had changed color, Lu Jianxing hurriedly stood up and explained in fear: "My lord, he is just ......"

"It doesn't matter."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "Since it is a discussion, I should have spoken freely. ”

Then, he stretched out his hand and knocked on the map, and asked rhetorically: "Shen Baihu, let's take a look first, what is the conflict between the plan we just laid out and the terrain of this Sizhai." ”

Plan to clash with the terrain?

Shen Lian was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his head after another one, stared at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly said, "I understand!" Duosi Village is near Tongxi, if you want to poison the living water, I'm afraid it's not so easy! ”

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong Huo Ran got up: "Our first battle is to give the barbarians a blow to the head, and then play the role of deterrence and warning, in order to maximize the effect, the best way is to destroy the foundation on which the barbarian settlement depends!" ”

"In this way, the barbarians naturally have to scatter and migrate, and by the way, the panic will spread to more tribes!"

"And polluting water is one of the foundations of this plan!"
